Last year Jeff and I went to Memphis and ate at a great restaurant named Flight. Have you ever heard of wine flights? It’s where you get two to three samples of wine for about the same price as a regular glass. It’s really cool because you get to try out different flavors for one price. Well at Flight, the entire menu was like this – appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, desserts – you could mix and match or choose one of the ready made trios. I ordered a white wine flight and the death by chocolate flight. As my meal. No joke. I know what I like – why bother with the calories from a silly entree when you can just have dessert?

Around these parts, if Jeff doesn’t specifically tell me to save him a piece of cake or a cookie or whatever kind of dessert we’ve made then he missed out. To me, a serving size is however much the recipe makes. This is probably why I gained back about half of the weight I lost after I got married. But that’s another post.

Moving on.

Jeff found an amazing site this afternoon, Dessert for Two. Built in portion control!! LOVE IT.
